Just when we thought the fashion industry was making a shift geared toward an older audience, i-D comes out with a youth-centric issue. Come to think of it, fellow avant-garde glossy V recently had the same idea with their "Youthquake" issue. Maybe we're just moving towards extremes.

The British fashion and culture mag's "Just Kids Issue" comes with three distinct covers starring some of the industry's youngest and most easily recognizable models. Shot by the one and only Terry Richardson, the covers feature the glossy's signature one-eye-covered pose, but with a youthful twist. 18-year-old Kelly Mittendorf used a stuffed animal, 19-year-old Charlotte Free went with a big slice of pizza; while and 19-year-old Cara Delevingne chose a baseball cap. Styled by Charlotte Stockdale, the girls wear Chanel, Mulberry and Celine, respectively, and opt for technicolor nail art in lieu of heavy make-up.
